[TYPO3-english] fe_users should be able to submit tt_news articles

[horace grant]

hi,

i am working on a website where fe_users should be able to submit tt_news
articles.

what would be the best way to achieve this?

i already found two solutions but none of them seems to be ideal.

   1. *advanced frontend editing extension + simulate be user extension.*
   it works but it is kind of confusing. to create a new article the user
   has to click on "new content after this element" on an article but not on
   the plugin content element itself (how could i disable the feediting buttons
   for the plugin content element itself?). it would be much better to just
   have a single button "add new article" on the page. is this possible
   somehow?
   2. *write to the tt_news table with a powermail form.*
   for plain text fields this seems to be a nice solution but what if i need
   a RTE for html text and the possibility of image and file uploads? is this
   possible?

i would be happy about any ideas/hints/suggestions! :)

cheers,
horace
